I really don’t get what the developers were trying to achieve with Valkyria Revolution. It pretty much takes everything that was good about the prior games and just throws it out of the window, replacing it with tedium and banality. It feels very cheap too, with the lack of meaningful...
As I mentioned previously, you will complete Perception in around three hours. And unless you’re really into hoarding collectibles – which weren’t particularly much fun to find given Perception‘s obstacles at making your way around – there’s very little reason to go back. In the end, Perception has a great idea at its core, but...
All in all, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series – Episode 2: Under Pressure does little, if anything, to disappoint. Some may feel that it ends rather abruptly, but it leaves you wanting more, which can only be a good thing. We’re now two episodes in, and it’s...
There’s something about Tokyo 42 that makes it quite engrossing. Playing it often feels like hard work due to the annoying camera, but it’s strangely rewarding. You feel a great sense of satisfaction when you pull off a successful hit without being spotted, and as you climb the assassin ranks...
Shadow Warrior 2 surprised me. It takes a chance by adopting a more open-ended structure, but it pays off. All the humour of the original game remains intact, and there’s more emphasis on you simply having fun, whether that’s by yourself or with others. And what fun it is. The...
With a running time of around four hours, Narcosis doesn’t offer the most bang for your buck, but it does offer a unique experience that grabs you and doesn’t let go until the very end. Instead of relying on jump scares, it masterfully blends strong audio-visual design with a credible narrative that...
On the balance of things, Cosmic Star Heroine’s excellent combat system and well-executed retro stylings make it a must for those who hold the classic JRPGs of the past close to their hearts. It’s a shame that the story doesn’t grab you as much as it should, as otherwise, it would stand...
With its saccharine visuals and cheesy yet infectious music, Puyo Puyo Tetris is about as sweet a game as you can get. And, like sugar, the gameplay is devilishly addictive. You’ll spend hours and hours in the adventure mode, earning credits and unlocking extras like new background music whilst trying...
He may not have the heritage of Crash Bandicoot or Sonic the Hedgehog, but once again being in control of Vince the voodoo doll is a nice feeling. He’s conceptually a great character that this title perhaps doesn’t make the best use of, but Voodoo Vince remains a solid 3D platformer...
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series – Episode One: Tangled Up In Blue is without a doubt one of the best Telltale Games episodes I have ever played. It is undeniably a strong start for the series, filling me with optimism for what’s yet to come. A culmination of...
Aaero
All things considered, Aaero is an enjoyable game, though not one you’re going to sing and shout about. It has control issues that perhaps make it more challenging than it should be, but if you put in some time and effort, acclimatising yourself to its twitchy nature and awkward shooting...
All in all, while you can still have some fun with PaRappa the Rapper Remastered, I’d by lying if I didn’t say that it’s a bit of a disappointment. A lack of extras and the realisation that by today’s standards the gameplay is rather lacking really puts a downer on things. Still,...
